Subject: Football Fans,you'll like this True Story:
In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily
working when a new voice came over the intercom
asking for a carry out at check register 4. Kurtis
was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air,
and decided to answer the call. As he approached the
check-out stand a distance smile caught his eye, the
new check out girl was beautiful. She was an older
woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in
love. Later that day, after his shift was over, he
waited by the punch clock to find out her name. She
came into the break room smiled softly at him and took
her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her
card, BRENDA.
He walked out only to see her start walking up the road.
Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket,
and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough,
and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if
maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply
said it wasn't possible. He pressed and she explained she
had two children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter,
so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. Reluctantly she
accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday.
That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have
her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The
baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis
simply said, "Well, lets take the kids with us." She
tried to explain that taking the children was not an
option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed.
Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet her children.
She had an older daughter who was just cute as a bug, Kurtis
thought. Then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair,
he was born a paraplegic with Down's syndrome. Kurtis asked
Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come
with us?" Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a
woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities. Just
like her first husband and father of her children did.
That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to
dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis
would take care of him. When he needed to use the rest room,
he picked him up out of his chair, took him, and brought him
back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda
knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest
of her life with.
A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her
children and since they have added two more kids. So what
happened to the stock boy and check out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs.
Kurt Warner, now live in St. Louis, where he is employed by the St.
Louis Rams and plays quarterback.
